Don’t forget to learn your Chinese radicals


I’m trying to learn Chinese. I am an enthusiastic but terrible student and it’s only a hobby, but I really enjoy it. Especially as a designer, you can’t help but fall in love with the beauty of the Chinese characters. I made this poster with forty of the most common Kangxi radicals, that Integrated Chinese recommends everybody to practice when starting to learn Chinese characters.

    This actually looks awesome! But… What paper did you use? And for someone not actually taking a course in Chinese, can these characters be given a meaning?

    And by God (whoever you choose), don’t subject me to being represented by Courier! Please :)

    Haha, you request for a change of font is noted for the next makeover.

    Paper = a block of papier nature from Sennelier. The texture photographs well!

    The radicals are random basic words like man, knife, mouth, earth, sunset, big, horse – and are building blocks for the other fifty thousand characters.

How about saying something?
